REFILE-U.S. court says will not expedite Apple's appeal vs. Samsung

SAN FRANCISCO Feb 4 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on
Monday rejected Apple Inc's request that the full court
immediately hear the company's request for a permanent
injunction against the sale of several Samsung Electronics Co
Ltd phones.

A lower court judge had rejected Apple's bid for a permanent
injunction. In its ruling on Monday, the Federal U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., said a three-judge panel
will first consider Apple's appeal, and the full appeals court
would not decide whether to hear the case until after that.
